The Central Elections Committee announced that its "Election Integrity" monitoring teams were present at all polling stations throughout voting hours. The system received approximately 10,000 reports concerning suspected violations of electoral purity. The committee confirmed that all incidents were processed and fully resolved.
Of the total reports, around 2,000 were immediately sorted and found to be unrelated to election integrity, leading to their automatic closure. From the remaining 8,000 reports that underwent initial sorting, over 70% were determined to be outside the scope of election purity, including false or misclassified reports. Approximately 30% of these were classified as actual events related to integrity.
Initial data on the classification of all reports indicated that about 22% related to filming violations inside polling stations, 10% to the destruction or damage of ballots, and 13% to disruptions of the electoral process. The committee noted that this distribution reflects the reason for the initial report opening and does not necessarily mean all cases were confirmed as violations after examination.
